CCSVI MS INFO MEMERIZED By Cold Doctor

When I had my appt. with my always late (up to an hour, while I sit in exam room hearing her laugh in the hall) neurologist last week, she began with, "I have some bad news." (Huh?)
"I am moving to the new hospital in Issaquah, but Dr. Howard (name changed to protect the innocent) will be taking my place here."

I wanted to scream, Hallelujah! but, I played it cool. FINALLY I would be free of the b**** and get to have a Dr. I had been WANTING for years, but my insurance didn't cover him. His name never showed up on any drug seminar sponsored events.

So, I asked what she thought about CCSVI. She took off, clearly having memorized her response and telling me nothing I didn't already know. When she shut up, I said, "But what do YOU think of it?"

Coldly as every sentence she speaks to me, "I don't believe it works for MS."

Then she launched into putting me back on Copaxone, funny since a few years ago she told me it was doing me no good. Then she began telling me about a trial the new doctor was doing and I could get in that, but the side effects were not too good. (Isn't she an uplifting person?)

That was it. I had waited so long past my appt. time, my ride home was gone and I had to reschedule. It did leave me time to complain about the office not having an easily accessible door opener and how ironic is that---TO ears that could care less.

Soooo happy to be rid of her. I'll see what the new guy thinks about CCSVI.
